“担心”。

3．B她们”指着”班上那个书呆子，向作者介绍她的情况。
4．D她是一个漂亮的女孩，黑色的眼睛，橄榄色的皮肤，“但是” 她穿着一条长长的羊毛裙和一件老式的短一卜衣，很不协调。
5．A当她走过的时候，她们窃窃私语，咯咯地笑。此处as表示 “当??的时候”。 6．D放学后，她们邀请作者在学校前面”加入”她们的行列。 join sb．表示“加入某人；和某人在一起”。
7．B作者受邀加入她们的行列，成为了社团的一“员”，受宠若惊，非常激动。
8．A 由上一句提到她们用粗鲁的语言辱骂Mary Lou和本句后半部分可知作者“停顿”了一下，然后立刻参与进去。
9．C作者和那些女孩一起对Mary Lou进行语言攻击，所以是“嘴唇”中说出刻薄的话语。
10．A作者辱骂Mary Lou，再结合下一句的内容可知没有人能 够”看出”作者以前从来没有做过这样的事情。tell表示“知道，看出，确切地判断”。
11．C上一句提到她们退到后面并开始为作者加油，再结合本句的内容可知作者备受“鼓舞”，开始有了进一步的过激行为。
12．D作者起初只是社团的普通一员，如今赢得了她们的认可，成为了领头人，由此可知作者“适应”了新的集体。此外，第1空后面的“to fit in”是提示。
